Tranny question (previous recall?)

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Battery

The tranny pan on my mark started leaking recently. I'm taking this as a perfect opportunity to j-mod. My question is, when I bought the car the previous owner told me it was taken in for transmission service as per a recall. What do they change in this recall? I'm assuming it may have the newer 1-2 accumulator and springs? Would anything else have been changed? I need to know so I know what parts to order. Thanks

There was no recall for the transmissions. He probably had it mixed up with a TSB and had the 1-2 accum done as you mentioned...

whats the difference between a TSB and a recall? if they know its gonna mess up the trans why not make it a recall?

there is a BIG difference. owners are notifed under the recall and it something that should be done ASAP. a TSB is just a "if this happens, do this" type of thing.

also most recalls are safety related, TSB is not.

Thanks guys, so it looks like I'll be ordering everything except the 1-2 accumulator.
